I'll use it for various spanners that need gradual changes, primarily for
trills with variable speed. There are other more text-based notations but I
like the simplicity of the spanner.

 I am surprised by the font issue though. Is LilyPond preventing you

I can't remember the exact issue but I'm using microtonal accidentals for
some projects anyways.

Nothing wrong with the Feta font by the way. I just have an illogical
preference for SCORE's look so I'm using Scorlatti plus various tweaks to
approximate SCORE's slurs and ties. That sometimes causes me a lot of
trouble but at the end I get nice results.

I will try to share more details about what doesn't work as well as I'd
like but my use case is very specific and non standard so I feel bad asking
for help since some tweaks go pretty deep and complex.
